Ankit Kothari s Paanchika is a metaphorical representation of society
A still from short film, Paanchika
As we set our eyes on the screen, there is nothing but an arid field of white sand standing tall as pyramids with its dry presence. It takes a little imagination to realise that debut director Ankit Kothariâs film
Paanchika, an adaptation of a Marathi short story
Bawa, is a metaphorical representation of Indian society that still holds ages-old class and cast barriers.
The film was screened on Sunday at the ongoing International Film festival of India (IFFI) 2021 in Goa, under the Indian Panorama (Non-Feature) category.
